Peter Bane took his initial training in Permaculture design with
Max Gustavo Ramirez Since his youth art, oriental spirituality and nature have fascinated him. Graduated as a veterinarian in 1983, since then he has participated in several wildlife projects. He got interested in the health of the planet as a whole and started working towards the protection of two wild areas near Buenos Aires City. Whilst working there he created and developed an environmental education program based on the deep connection with nature. He is founder member of Gaia Association. He has lived in Gaia Ecovillage project for five years, and has played a leading role in the general design of the site. He recently built, together with his wife, their cob cottage with local materials. With Permaculture he found the synthesis of many areas in which he has been working separately, which has opened new paths in his work with nature. He took his initial training in Permaculture design with Max Lindegger in 1996, and has gone on to teach Permaculture Design Course in Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Chile. He has created and coordinates Instituto Argentino de Permacultura. He is an active member of RAPEL (Latin-American Permaculture support network) and has made presentations in 1st Latin-American Congress in Argentina. He is also an active member since the creation of GEN (Global Ecovillage Network) and ENA (Ecovillage Network of Americas) One of his main interests at the moment is the adaptation of Permaculture systems to the Latin-American reality, and the inclusion of art, native flora, and popular knowledge to his designs.
